Pragmatists.
Pragmatists are individuals who prioritize practicality and real-world outcomes over theory or ideology. They believe that the value of ideas should be judged by their practical consequences and effectiveness in tackling specific problems. Notable pragmatists include John Dewey, William James, and Charles Sanders Peirce.
Pragmatists believe that thoughts that do not have practical implications or cannot be tested through experience are considered useless. They emphasize the importance of thinking that leads to action and has real-world relevance. Useless thoughts, according to pragmatists, do not contribute to solving problems or enhancing understanding.

Pragmatists believe that the curriculum should be focused on the child and not on facts, they remind us about the role of education in society, and about the realization of the deep roots of division of our bodily and mental functions.
